"Steve just texted me. He's here."

Anna and Pietro were sitting on the couch in her office playing cards when Natasha ran in with the news.

"Sorry P we'll have to finish this later I promised Steve and Fury I would help with the... transition"

"It's ok, will I see you later?" He answered.

"Hopefully but to be honest we don't know how this going to go-"

"Anna come on." Natasha was getting impatient.

They walked swiftly out of the office. 

"Does Fury know your coming?"

"No, but he's going to be pissed once he sees me."

"That's so stupid Anna you're the best therapist here why is he not letting you take on this case?"

"He still thinks he has to protect me."

They reach the landing deck for where the helicopter was going to come in. They had learnt from experience that travelling by van wasn't going to work.

"Anna what are you doing I told you I don't want-" Fury started

"Steve requested I be here I'm his therapist too."

"I see, did he ever think of the consequences if Mr. Barnes recognized you?" He said staring straight ahead as the helicopter started to land.

Anna and Natasha looked at each other. Anna was right Fury was pissed. She hadn't thought about what would happen if Bucky did recognize her but she put on a brave face.

Once the Helicopter landed about seven armed guards jumped out followed by an angry yet stabilized Bucky and a worried Steve. 

"Captain Rogers."

"Fury," He said nodding in Nicks direction. He spotted Anna and his face instantly relived.

"Anna I'm so happy your here"

"I'm glad you got here o-" she started to reply when Nick cut her off.

"Shall we be going or would you too like to continue your little reunion?" He started glancing in her direction.

"Let's go." Steve breathed.

He was stressed worried about Bucky whose cuffed wrists were in his grasp. They both looked very uncomfortable and tired.

They headed towards the doors. Bucky and Steve still surrounded by the guards. They got into the large elevator and Nick pressed the button for the fifty-seventh floor. Anna looked over at Bucky and saw him tense as if thinking of what to do next. Steve muttered quietly behind him 

"No Buck, it's ok."

They reached the floor and the group walked out. Except for Natasha who stayed in the elevator. 

"This is where I leave you,"  She said as the doors closed in front of her.

"This way." Nick motioned down the hall until they reached a door. Anna didn't know anyone who lived in the fifty-seventh floor it must empty or a guest floor. 

There was a print scanner on the side of the door. Nick scanned his hand and opened the door to a small apartment. The guards stayed by the door as Bucky and Steve walked in. She could see Steve surveying the room. He nodded 

"Good."

"Then take a seat," Nick said making his way to the simple couch that stood before a television. he sat down in the chair beside it.

Steve lead Bucky to the couch and they sat down. Bucky stared at his cuffed hands in front of him.  

"This is where you'll be staying Mr. Barnes," Nick started, "For the first couple weeks, you will reside here and only here and if things well you may be able to walk the tower with surveillance."

"Look its the man of the hour."

They turned around to see a drunk, slurring Tony leaning against the doorway. Buckys fists clenched and his breathing quickened. 

"What are you doing Stark your drunk," Steve said coldly

"Well I just wanted to meet our new resident Cap," he replied snarkily.

Steve glared at him. Bucky was still clenching, his knuckles turning a bright white.

"Say you think you can try and not kill anyone while you're here... Buck?" 

Steve now stood up his chest rising and falling unevenly. Bucky kept looking down taking shallow raspy breaths his eyes watering. 

"Get him out of here Anna. Now!" Nick said

Anna took one last look at Bucky before grabbing Tony and pulling him into the elevator and pushing the button to his floor. 

"What's the matter Doc?"

Anna groaned at the smell of his breath as it filled her nostrils. The elevator doors closed and Anna immediately called Pepper who ensured her she would keep Tony under control until he was settled.

She was walking back when she heard Steve and Nick in the hallway.

"She's the only one that could possibly help him."

"We have many other trained therapists here that work in the ward that would be more than welcome to take him on Rogers."

"Come on Nick we both know none of them are as good as her. They're going to treat him like an animal."

"Rogers you know what would happen if he remembered her? He'd probably kill her on the spot for possibly ever being connected to Hydra."

"But he didn't,"  Anna now cut into their conversation both of them now staring straight at her.

"Agent Camron I thought you were with Tony," Nick stated his tone flat.

"I gave him to Pepper. And he didn't recognize me Fury and if he does we are prepared. hopefully, if and when he does recognize me he will remember that I helped him. I was there, I know more than anyone"

He took a deep breath

"Fine Anna you can treat him."

Anna silently celebrated.

"But if anything goes wrongs he's getting sent to the ward and getting a new therapist understood?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Yes Fury"

"Good." He said walking away, "I'll leave you to it."
